Halfway House - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Shaker Heights, OH.

When a person has conquered drug or alcohol addiction, it isn't as simple as starting life again where you left off. Returning to a stable and happy life takes time and a great deal of effort. A Halfway House, also called a Sober Living Facility, is a place where recovering individuals can live in a clean and sober and supportive environment until they can live stably on their own. Living in a Halfway House may be a term of a person's probation or parole for example, or the person could make the decision to live in a Halfway House of their own accord following drug or alcohol rehab. In either case, tenants of a Halfway House are sober and striving to do what is necessary to repair their lives. This could mean getting one's GED, finding a job, etc.

Halfway Houses in Shaker Heights are run by people who in most cases were once tenants of the house. How long a person is allowed to stay at the Halfway House can vary, but it's usually anywhere from a month to a couple of years. Tenants must submit to alcohol and drug testing prior to entering the house, and this testing will happen intermittently to be certain there isn't any drug or alcohol use in the house or substance abuse problems that would be more adequately handled in an addiction rehab facility.
